NEW IN NOVI

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

It’s been a couple of years since we updated our New in Novi blog post, so we decided for our September 2023 newsletter we would take a stroll through the City of Novi Planning Department and see what’s new, as well as what’s on the horizon.

Online of course, because efficiency.

Most of the current single-family home neighborhoods are either nearing closeout or are already there; if you need something within the next year, we should probably start a conversation soon.

If time is on your side, there are some exciting new options that have cleared approval with the city and are either anticipated for the early next year, or (hopefully) some point in 2024.

Click here to check out the new post, or connect with us directly to discuss the process and get your search started!

CURRENT LISTINGS

OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION COLLECTION

LOT #15 | WHISPERING RIDGE ESTATES

Progress continues on this BRAND NEW/NEVER-BEEN-BUILT ranch floor plan by Strathdale Development. Featuring 3 bed/2.5 bath/2,450 sqft, a 3-car garage, and a ton of high-end finishes, we anticipate completion later this year.

Located near Benstein & Glengary in Commerce, Whispering Ridge Estates is located in a particular section of the township that might be the only one which doesn’t require navigating 2-lane roads while winding around every lake in Oakland County, resulting in commute times that range from 30 min to the Donner Party. Yay! Connect with us for the details!

24191 TRAFALGAR | NOVI

Located near 10 Mile & Beck in the heart of Novi, and featuring award-winning/awe-inspiring/otherworldy/all-the-things Novi Schools, you can’t Novi any harder than this.

Built by Kensington Family Homes, this colonial features 5 bed/4 bath, over 3,000 sqft, and a 3-car side entry garage, along with all the luxury finishes you’ve come to expect from Kensington.

This home will be complete this fall.

Connect with us (if you’re already working with us), or reach out to Julie directly for the details.

UPTOWN VILLAGE | MILFORD

Sure, there’s another notable development getting a lot of attention in the Milford area at the moment, but this quaint new development by Kensington Family Homes puts you a little closer to the heart of Milford.

Located on the north side of Downtown Milford in Uptown Village, these well-appointed 2-3 bed/2.5-3.5 bath townhomes are a short walk to one of Metro Detroit’s most coveted historical downtowns, with rows of shops and restaurants that are steeped in the authenticity that comes with nearly two centuries of cultivation.

Take advantage of the many parks and trails in the area – including nearby Kensington Metro Park – or drop your canoe in the Huron River as it winds through downtown and let it carry you to Ann Arbor and beyond.

Only a small offering of these townhomes will be built, so act soon; connect with us (if you’re already working with us), or reach out to Julie directly for the details.

IN OTHER REAL ESTATE NEWS…

VILLAGE OF TROY | TROY

The Troy City Council has approved the re-zoning of a 20-acre parcel near Long Lake and Rochester Road into a planned unit development (PUD), paving the way for The Village of Troy by Robertson Brothers Homes. Plans call for three different types of housing, which are expected to include detached single-family homes, attached single-family homes, and attached townhomes; we’d be lying if we said we weren’t here to see what the attached single-family homes product looks like… [read more]

INDIAN VILLAGE | DETROIT

For the first time since 1999, a new home is set to be built in one of Detroit’s most prized historical neighborhoods, Indian Village. This fall, construction is expected to begin on a 3,000 sqft colonial, located on a vacant Iroquois Avenue lot, between Charlevoix and Goethe. Neighborhoods designated as historical districts can be a nightmare to deal with (due to regulations on design, materials, etc.) which often leads to prices higher than what it would cost to build in regular neighborhoods. However, for a region with limited options for desirable lots in or near the city, we will be paying close attention to this build; any loosening of/compromises with restrictions could establish a precedent for future builds… [read more]

BUILDERS: DON’T JUST LIST YOUR HOMES…

AGENTS: BECOME AN EXPERT…

WE ARE THE HOME FOR NEW HOME SPECIALISTS!

Join us. We are growing our national network of New Home Experts® agents across the United States and beyond.

If you are a builders sales rep looking for something different, or an agent/broker with a masterful level of experience selling or building new construction homes in your local market, we want to talk.

Set your business apart from competitors by focusing on this lucrative real estate sector; one that most other agents are either afraid of, intimidated by, or both.

Interested? Let’s chat about the life of an “expert” and if it’s the right path for your career.

Btw, we have partnered with Homesite Mortgage on their RevUp Program, which assists Realtors® with getting their mortgage license and provides them the support system to add a side hustle in an adjacent industry.

Jeff was a test subject in the program and passed with flying colors, so we are confident you can too!

Side note, Jeff also qualified to be a test subject in a clinical study on optimism due to his being a fan of the Leafs and the Lions, but as it turns out it wasn’t optimism, just stupidity.
